SPOKESHAVE AND CHAMFER-CUTTER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 322,304, dated July14-, 1885.

Application filed January 24, 1885. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J AMES IVIANDER, a subject of the Queen of GreatBritain, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State ofPennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement inOhamfer-Cutters and Spokeshaves, which improvement is fully set forth inthe following specification and accompanying drawings, in which- Figure1 represents atop or plan view of a chamfercutter and spokeshaveembodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents a side eleva: tion thereof.Fig. 3 representsalongitudinal section thereof. Fig. 4 represents atransverse section thereof.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the severalfigures.

My invention' consists of a tool which is adapted to be used either asachamfer-cutter or a spokeshave, as will be hereinafter fully set forth.

Referring to the drawings, A represents a spokeshave, consisting of thestock B, handles G, and bit or blade D, the latter being fitted indiagonally-extending grooves a, formed in the inner sides of the stock.

The back of the stock is cut away, as at b, so that the rear face of thebitis supported by the top cross-bar, c, and side lugs, 01, whereby themain portion of the back of the bit below said cross -bar, excepting thesmall portion contiguous to the lugs d, is uncovered or unobstructed, bywhich provision the bit is adapted for deep cuts and. to perform agreater range of work, limited by the top crossbar 0, instead of thebottom edge of the back of the stock, as in spokeshaves heretoforeconstructed.

E represents a frame or case, which, open at top and bottom, is adaptedto receive the stock of the spokeshave and the contiguous portions ofthe handles thereof.

Screws F are swiveled to the spokeshave and tapped in the sides of thecase E, whereby provision is made for raising and lowering thespokeshave in said box and thus adjust the bit D therein.

In the bottom edges of the front and rear walls of the case E arerecesses G of inverted- V shape, the same constituting guides when thetool is used as a chamfer-cntter, it being noticed that the bit of thespokeshave is the bit of such cutter, and the handles 0 are employed foroperating said cutter.

The tool is presented to the wood so that the latter is coincident withthe guide-recesses G, and the tool operated, whereby the wood is readilycut with a chamfer, it being noticed that the depth of the chamfer maybe varied or adjusted by properly rotating the screws F, and it willalso be noticed that as much of the back of the bit is uncovered as hasbeen set forth, the work of chamfering may be accomplished withfacility, the back of the stock presenting no obstructions to thecutting action of the bit to the extreme depth of the guide-recesses G.

Another advantage in leaving the back of the bit uncovered in the mannerstated is, that the bit is adapted for cutting what are known asstop-chamfers, which may be of various depths, and cannot be producedwhere the bit is covered in spokeshaves heretofore in use.

I am aware that a spokeshave having a blade adjustable in a recessedstock is old,

and-also that a combined spoke and chamfer cutter is formed with acasing having recesses thereon, and such I do not broadly claim.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-- 1. In a combined chamfer-cutter andspokeshave, the spokeshave having a recessed stock,

in combination with a blade seated in said stock and supported by across-bar of the set forth.

2. The stock B, having a cross-bar, c, and

side lugs, d, connected therewith, in combinaforth.

, JAMES MANDER.
